Annie. Bello. Nubs & Seal.

Oh how we love bello! These days, as a fully adult cat, Bellow has started sitting the way Miku used to sit with what we call "nubs." If he is not sitting nubs, he is sitting like a seal. Often we see him sitting like that and just yell "SEAL!"

Leia & Harvest Choose a Wedding Date & Venue

Leia and harvest have finally chosen their wedding date for September 28th, 2026! We have also secured the venue and even paid the deposit! It is a beautiful place called Something Blue Mountain venue located in Marion North Carolina. Leia feels like this is the site of her dream wedding! They have chosen the largest wedding package and plan to invite around 60 people. It is going to be so exciting to watch and help them plan this wedding!

As you can see, they are in the middle of a big expansion. It will be completed next august, so in plenty of time for the wedding in september. The expansion is to accommodate up to 60 guests. Another exciting thing is that the owner is a Methodist minister, and is able to do a Christian ceremony!

Annie's Get-Together with School Friends

Marisa, Luz & Maddie all came over today! This is a perfect example of a photo I would get of one of Annie's friend get togethers. :-D Annie still does not like to take pictures! But she had a good time with her friends this evening and I thought I would mark the occasion with a Blog post. We purchased pizzas just for the occasion.

Daddy's Love of King of the Hill

Daddy and I have been watching the new season of King of the hill, the first in a long time. But just to reiterate how important this show is to daddy, this morning before work I found this list on our kitchen table for Daddy's friend Cameron at work. It is a list of the all-time best King of the Hill episodes. It is all organized by date and bullet pointed! We love our daddy!

Disneyland with April & Emily 2025: Best of Photo Highlights

Disneyland with April & Emily 2025: Exploring Main Street After Hours

Finally I was on a mission to find something I remembered from my childhood, the original Penny Arcade flipbooks that I used to see in Disney world. There are only a few left now that work. When I was young there were lines of them in the penny arcade. I brought pennies along for just this reason. Here is me about to put a penny in the Charlie Chaplin penny arcade! But the main street Penny Arcade here had many little interactive games around the different candies that they sold. Next was the true grip challenge where I actually got  "crusher gripper" which was close to the strongest! Next was Esmeralda the fortune teller where we got our fortune... which was to Journey to the edge of the frontier today. There was also the calliope that used to cost $0.10 but now just plays automatically every 15 minutes. I always love calliope's! Then there was a little interactive Pinocchio that you put a penny in and compress the buttons to move his arms and legs, and finally there was the scale that was putting a penny in and seeing what your weight was.

 and I couldn't end this set of Disneyland posts without showing one of the many decorations around the parks and hotels, because it is the 70th Anniversary they would have these large stand-up signs each featuring a particular Disney character. I took a picture by the Frozen sisters! Celebrate happy!
